Manifold-writing machines.-Relates to manifold-writing machines for writing simultaneously on a number of tickets and, if necessary, in a book as well, such as is described in Specification 18,493/93, and particularly to the writing-surface and writing-apparatus. Each of the pens such as p' is carried in a holder 13 clamped to a pin 14 extending from a boss 29 on the jaws 28, which are connected by the parallel links 27, h to similar jaws 26 on a clip i rigidly secured to the pen-bar 3, the link h having a spring pivot in the clip i and a rear projection 16 engaged by a set-screw 17, whereby the pens are resiliently and adjustably supported over the writing surface. The writing-apparatus is supported from the upper part of the desk by means of the parallel arms a, transverse link 6, depending arm 24 supporting the shaft 22, frames 4, 7 with projections 25 journaled on the shaft, and the parallel links 5 pivoted in the frames, and is held resiliently and adjustably in writing position by an adjustable spring 8. The ticketbox e, which has a spring-pressed plate 37 and ledges 38 to clamp the tickets, is carried by parallel oblique links 34 from a plate 35 on the lower part of the desk m, and is adapted to be moved obliquely on the bars r by the thumbpiece s to allow separate lines to be written on the tickets as the columns of the day-book are filled in. Under the ticket-box is arranged a drawer n to hold the book o. The drawer is provided with rollers t and a rack so as to be movable along rails in the desk by means of a pinion w. The book is supported on a board z connected by parallel links 1 to the bottom of the drawer and pressed upwards by the spring 2, and one leaf q is held during the writing on a surface x by a light metal frame y carried by a hinged lid adapted to be held down by a latch. When cards only are to be written upon, the under portion of the desk holding the book may be dispensed with, and the ticket-holder fixed.

Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 6951. Jefcoate, H. J. March 20. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-The brakes and signals are operated by a flexible wire actuated by a striker or plunger, which may be similar to that described in Specification 2109/02, connected through springs 12, 14 so as to permit only a partial application of the brakes, which are able to be further controlled by the driver. The flexible wire 5 is fixed to an eye 7, and is actuated by a roller 6 on the plunger 2. The upper part of the wire which is connected to the brake valve or signals, is provided with a stop 12<a> to engage a fixed stop 12<b>, thus ensuring a definite movement of the brake valve or signals while the spring 12 permits a longer movement of the lower part of the wire. The spring 14 allows operation of the brake handle 10 by the driver to re-set the valve against the action of the spring when the stop 15 meets the stop 13, but is strong enough to actuate the valve to apply the brakes.

Abstract: 11,699. Walton, F. J. Nov. 15. Make - and break switches, mechanical ; clockwork actuation.-A make - and - break switch comprises a disk 4 of insulating - material, on which are mounted a conducting-plate 12 and a series of inclined contacts 3, a table 15 mounted on a clockworkdriven spindle 14, and arms 17, 18 pivoted to a conducting-member 16 on the table, the arms being pressed against the contacts 3 and conducting-plate 12 respectively by springs. The clock-work mechanism may be arrested when the current is switched off by moving an obstruction into the path of the pendulum, the obstruction being withdrawn when the current is switched on. The obstruction may be operated from the switch handle by means of links and levers, or from one of the movable parts of a time switch when this is used, or it may be controlled by an electro-magnet which attracts its armature and withdraws the obstruction from the path of the pendulum when the current is switched on. Contacts; sparking, preventing. -In order to minimize sparking the contacts 3 are undercut at 23 and a piece of insulating-material 20 is secured to the tip of the arm 17, preferably by bending around it a tag 21 formed on the end of the arm. Screws 11 serve the double purpose of securing the contacts 3 and terminals 5 to the disk 4 and electrically connecting them together.

Abstract: 7083. Sunbeam Motor Car Co., and Guy, S. S. March 22. Testing toothed gearing. - In apparatus for indicating and recording irregularities in spur and bevel wheels, of the type in which one gear-wheel is mounted on a fixed base and the other is mounted on a yielding table, means are provided to record the defects in the gearing by a pen or pencil marking a drum rotated by the wheels at a known velocity - ratio.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Preventing the Heating of Bearings.
IPC: F16N29/04
Filed: 1912-07-01
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 15,377. Aktiebolaget Ljungstroms Angturbin. July 3, 1911, [Convention date]. Stop-gear. - To stop an engine when the bearings become overheated the supply of motive fluid is automatically shut off. A mass of fusible metal b, Fig. 1, is placed in a tube a, inserted in a bearing of the engine or of a machine driven by the engine, and by means of a rod c and lever e holds open a valve h in the fluidsupply pipe. On the hearing becoming heated, the mass b melts, the rod c moves inwards, and the valve h is closed by a spring f stopping the engine. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the lever e operates valves m, m<1> controlling the supply of a fluid under pressure through pipes l, l' to the underside of a piston k connected to the valve h. When the fusible mass melts, the valve m closes, and the valve m<1> opens a discharge pipe l<11>, allowing the fluid to escape; the piston k then falls, closing the valve h. In another modification, the fusible mass surrounds a cone connected by a wire to a valve h which is closed by a spring when the cone is released. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also the following modifications. (a) The fusible mass supports a piston closing the passage of the pressure fluid that actuates the engine valve, so that the passage is opened when the mass melts. (b) The fusible mass itself obstructs the passage of the pressure fluid. (c) The fusible mass normally connects two electric conductors, so that an electric circuit is broken when the mass melts; the conductors may be in direct communication with the field magnets of an electric machine driven by a turbine &c., or may be connected to an electro-magnet controlling a steam valve, in each case the engine being stopped when the mass melts. (d) The fusible mass, when melted, falls into such a position that it makes contact between two electric conductors and closes a circuit arranged to actuate a controlling-device. (e) The fusible mass is replaced by a metal which is expanded or distorted by heat, for instance a bent steel strip in a copper tube grips a cone connected by a wire to an engine valve and releases it when overheating occurs. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 18,570. Masson, J. Aug. 13. Mincing; sausages. - A machine for mincing meat and filling sausages comprises an horizontal meat cylinder, a forcing - piston operated by a rack and pinion, and a perforated extrusion plate with s p i r a l knives rotating in contact therewith driven from the delivery side of the machine. The cylinder 4 is mounted on trunnions 3 in a frame 1 and may be tilted for charging. The forcing - piston is operated by racks 8 gearing with pinions 11 driven by worm and bevel gear from a cross-shaft 18. The crank handle for driving the machine may be placed on the shaft 18 or on shafts 21, 23 geared thereto. The forward end of the worm shaft 15 is geared to a shaft 26 mounted in bearings on the cylinder and connected by spur gear to a shaft 30 carrying the spiral knives 32, Figs. 3 and 5, which rotate in contact with the inner face of a perforated cover 34 of the cylinder. The plate 34 is placed in position by dropping it into a slot 37 in the lower half of the cylinder and is held in place by a pivoted arm 38 wedged against the upper part of the plate. A sleeve 31 and disk 40 attached to the p'ate 34 form a bearing for the rotating shaft 30. The piston may be withdrawn quickly by driving the pinion shaft 12 directly from the shaft 18 through gearing 45, 44, the bevel-gear being disconnected. When the machine is used for stuffing sausages, the cutter &c. is removed and the plate 50, Fig. 4, is placed on the end of the cylinder.
